Back in 1958 my brother got a Christmas present that I loved. He got a shiny green toolbox. I was about 9 years old then and was trying to do everything he did since he was 6 years older than me. He was really into hot rods so he put auto performance stickers all over it. He left home after high school and got married, but he left the toolbox with my dad. Dad kept it in the garage until he passed and as we cleaned out the house I took it. I have had it now for about 30 years and I just keep stray nuts and bolts in it. I was in my garage today and picked it up to look at the old stickers on it. What a bunch of memories this box holds. It was always present when I helped my brother change transmissions/headers/carbs etc on his old hot rods. Then he and this tool box got into motorcycles and it helped work on them as well.
Anyway, I guess it is continuing its job. Still making memories as I work on my bikes.
I have more tools than my brother used, but in the tradition I have stickered up my toolbox.
Good memories.
